I might be putting "the cart before the horse" on this BUT I thought I would ask the Board if this is of interest....
I took the little pewter Aston Martin DB5 board piece that was in "Seen it" game and am carefully using a dremil tool and removing the flat base on the bottom of the car. I phoned a jeweler friend and asked about making sterling silver DB5 keychains with this board piece car as the mold for friends and family....a process that he can easily do and smooth, polish and add the "chain" portion.
An hour of work so far...the darn metal is hard (not soft like cheap pewter): http://i50.tinypic.com/nv8ksh.jpg
I was wondering if there was any interest in these to members of the Board...ala, Anthony Holt's DB7 car but my version would be much cheaper. I am still working on the Aston Martin ECU project BUT I have a guy doing most of that....
I still think the baddie in Casino Royal should have had a silver DB5 keychain to match his DB5 car! LoL
Thoughts?
